Report Content
Description
A Report Content, unlike a once-off report or extract for printing, is a snapshot of data in the system for incorporation into a specific report. It can be edited, assigned comments, and moved through workflow status. A Report Content has an associated spreadsheet format where the report content data can be downloaded.
An FRD report content download implements the Victorian Government’s Financial Reporting Direction (FRD24) specification, however the content is broadly applicable.
When a Report Content is first created it is Scheduled (the first step in the workflow process). The schedule runs once a day at an off-peak time as it makes the data snapshot. Once a Report Content has finished processing (Scheduled -> Processing -> Draft) it is available for editing and export. The usual workflow is Scheduled -> Processing -> Draft -> Approved -> Published. In addition to being edited, a Report Content may also be cancelled or deleted.
Once a report content is published, it cannot be cancelled, edited or deleted.
